Rabbits Rhymes And Finger Plays

Bunny and Rabbit Rhymes

Rabbits rhymes and finger plays

Print bunny pattern on heavy printing paper and have children color them. Cut them out and glue a craft stick to their backs. Hand out the five bunnies to five children and recite rhyme.

Five Little Bunnies Went Out to Play
Hippety hop and hippety hay,
Five little bunnies went out to play.
Hippety hop and hippety hay,
One little bunny hopped away.

Four little bunnies...
Three little bunnies...
Two little bunnies...
One little bunny...

Hippety hop and hippety hay,
No more bunnies are playing today.
Hippety hop and hippety hay,
I hope they come back another day.

Finger Plays :

Funny Bunny(Author unknown)

Here is a bunny (Raise two fingers.)
With ears so funny
And here is a hole in the ground. (Make hole with fingers of other hand.)
At the first sound she hears,
She pricks up her ears (Straighten fingers.)
And pops right into the ground. (Put fingers in hole.)

I’m An Easter Bunny(Author unknown)

I’m an Easter Bunny, watch me hop, (Hop around.)
Here are my two ears, see how they flop. (Hold hands at sides of head and flop them.)
Here is my cotton tail, here is my nose, (Wiggle hips, then point to nose.)
I’m all furry from my head to my toes. (Point to head, then to toes.)
